“Our focus is to face the best competition and I believe we have done
that with our schedule this season," Costanzo said. "Obviously,
we want to win dual meets, but we want to take the talent here at SCSU
and turn our wrestlers into All-Americans. We definitely will be
challenged and if we can endure the competition there will be positive
results in the end."
